Johnathan Abram

If you enjoyed watching players like Kam Chancellor, Brian Dawkins, or the late Sean Taylor, then you should probably watch one of Abram’s highlight tapes.

Described as “pure physicality,” the senior safety is an enforcer from the second level, and will not shy away from putting his shoulder into any player. The problem was that he was looked at as very one dimensional, which made scouts wary of his ability to stay in coverage and play in his zones at the NFL level.

This year, Abram has taken those reports, and thrown them in the trash! He has shown remarkable improvement in coverage, showcased by his two interceptions and five pass break-ups. Abram’s is slotted to be taken in the first to second round.

Jawaan Taylor

Florida, Junior, Offensive Tackle

Game time: Florida at Florida State, noon, ABC

Projected to be one of the top offensive linemen taken in this year’s draft, Taylor will be facing off against another top draft prospect this week in Florida State’s outside linebacker-defensive end hybrid Brian Burns.

Taylor (6-5, 334) has great size and at times, uses his hands better than any player in college football. NFL teams may see him more as a guard due to his athleticism in space, which would make for a great lead blocker on pull plays.

The cons on Taylor are his lack of exceptional power, and his ability to stop defensive ends around the bend, which may contribute to his switching to guard. Overall, the junior big man is a work in progress, but shows great potential and will most likely be a starter in the NFL next year.

Edwards was a high school quarterback who came to Wisconsin to play tight end. After redshirting his freshman season, and putting on some major muscle, the 6-7, 315-pound right tackle has been the best player on one of the best offensive lines in the country.

Edwards has a long frame, which boded well for his transition to the line as he had to put on roughly ninety pounds to get to his current playing weight. With his size, athleticism, and incredible ability to adapt, Edwards has NFL teams ready to insert him into their starting lineups immediately.

He blows defenders off the ball on run plays and is one of the best second-level blockers in college football. His ability to get downfield and help spring long runs showcases his extreme athleticism for an offensive lineman. Overall, he still needs some work in pass protection, as he needs to learn to get lower so defensive ends won’t bend around him on the edge. He will be chosen in the first to second round.

Damien Harris

Damien Harris is the No. 1 running back on the No. 1 team in the nation. That may sound impressive, but ultimately, it doesn’t benefit Harris when it comes in terms of production. Harris’ stat lines will never impress when he is in a backfield with players like Josh Jacobs or Najee Harris, the latter being the former No. 1 recruit in the country.

Though, Damien Harris is no slouch either. He was the top-ranked running back in the class of 2015, and he is proving it. He hits the hole hard, and will not go down with an arm tackle. He runs with explosiveness and makes smart decisions in the hole. Harris does commit many negative plays, which stems from his ability to accelerate quickly through the hole.

That is a desirable trait by NFL teams, as too many running backs try extending the play by running sideways, which more times than not, ends in disaster. Harris will potentially be the first running back taken in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Quinnen Williams

Alabama, RS Sophomore, Defensive Lineman

Game time: Auburn at Alabama, 3:30 p.m., CBS

Williams is being touted as the next Ndamukong Suh, minus the cheap shots. He has exceptional power and is impossible to move at the line of scrimmage. That’s a scary thought when several 300-plus pound men cannot move you from your positioning.

Put it this way, you don’t want to be the guy who has to block Quinnen Williams on any play of the game. Williams is a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and Bednarik Award, both given to the best defensive player in college football.

That combination makes for a dominant defensive tackle that will recognize pass sets, beat any 1v1 battle, and play to the final whistle. Williams will potentially be considered for the first overall pick in the draft.
